Just rewatched this on streaming. I'm an older viewer with lots of life experience and consider myself a pretty tough old nut, but I was weeping unrestrained in the third act.
This is probably the single greatest episode in the history of TV series, any series at all, and I've seen a lot in lots of genres.
Every single aspect works seamlessly, but the scripting and editing are just superlative.
As for "Ziegler" no words can do him justice here. The human drama at the centre is just so uplifting.
Sorkin the great. This stuff is twenty years old and it's still viewing as fresh as a daisy and indeed leagues above most of the garbage that passes for TV these days.
Exceptional, outstanding work.
